Summary

Clodsire is a Ground/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9, known for its laid-back demeanor and surprising defensive capabilities. It is the Paldean evolution of Wooper.

Type: Ground / Poison

Abilities:

  • Poison Point: The opponent has a 30% chance of being poisoned if it makes contact with Clodsire.
  • Water Absorb: Restores HP if hit by a Water-type move, nullifying the damage.
  • Hidden Ability (Unaware): Ignores the opponent’s stat changes when attacking or defending, making it especially effective against setup sweepers.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Clodsire is a large, rounded amphibian-like Pokémon with stubby limbs and a wide, content smile.
  • Its back features small spines that can release poison when threatened.
  • It has a brown, muddy coloration with dark patches and a squat, durable build.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Clodsire is known for its docile and peaceful personality, spending much of its time lounging in wetlands or muddy riverbanks.
  • Despite its slow appearance, it is capable of sudden counterattacks using its poison-coated spines.
  • It lives in the Paldea region and is typically found near marshy terrain.

In Battle:

  • Clodsire’s Ground/Poison typing makes it immune to Electric-type moves and resistant to Fairy, Bug, Rock, and Fighting attacks.
  • It functions well as a defensive wall thanks to its solid HP and supportive move pool.
  • With Unaware, it becomes a strong counter to stat-boosting opponents, ignoring Attack, Defense, or Speed increases.
  • Water Absorb provides excellent utility in team synergy by giving it immunity to Water-type moves.

Evolution:

  • Clodsire evolves from Paldean Wooper starting at level 20.

Interesting Facts:

  • Clodsire is considered the Paldean counterpart to Quagsire but does not evolve from regular Johto Wooper.
  • Its smile and plodding nature have made it a fan favorite among players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
  • Despite its goofy look, it is capable of shutting down aggressive attackers with the right strategy.

Flavor Text Entries

  • Scarlet: When attacked, this Pokémon will retaliate by sticking thick spines out from its body. It’s a risky move that puts everything on the line.
  • Violet: It lives at the bottom of ponds and swamps. It will carry Wooper on its back and ferry them across water from one shore to the other.
